Review on Hippococo Marble Magnetic Building Blocks by Christopher Holker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Can't build any of the suggested design ideas - forces you to buy more parts. Don't fall for it.

Loved this item - my 3 year old LOVES the bullet barrel and thought it was perfect as it's magnetic and theoretically easier to assemble. The parts themselves are well made and fit together easily (as well as easily falling and falling apart), however it seems impossible to build anything with the kit as is. We bought a larger set of 60 pieces thinking it would be more versatile and could build more, but in fact you can't even build most of the tracks pictured. Selling an incomplete set strikes me as a scam, effectively forcing us to buy another (VERY expensive) set just for my kids to assemble the items pictured. I find this kind of marketing reprehensible and will be back. Shame on you Hypococo. You'll need to repackage your kits so that a single 60-piece set has enough pieces to make print runs AND give kids (and adults) design ideas that REALLY CAN DO.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • I'll add later
